SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 325,837, dated September 8, 1885.

Application tiled May 6, 1895.

Be it known that I, SILAS M. HEss, of Bloomsburg, Columbia county, Pennsylvania, have invented a new and Improved Gulm-Bar, of which the following is a full, clear, and eX- act description.

The object of my invention is to provide a new and improved bar for burning culm,which bar is so constructed that the parts that have been burnt out can be easily replaced by oth-Y ers.

rlhe invention consists in the combination, with parallel supporting-bars united in pairs, of flat perforated sections placed upon said bars and serving to receive the culm. V

Reference is to be had to the accompanying drawings, forming part of this specification, in which similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts in all the figures.

Figure 1 is a plan view of my improved culnrbar. Fig. 2 is a side and sectional view Fig. 3 is a cross-sectional elevation of the same on the line y y, Fig. 1.

Two cooling-bars, A,placed parallel and having their top and bottom edges curved downward from the ends to the middle, are united by the end pieces, B, and the curved crosspieces C or arches, all cast integral.

The sections D,provided with perforations, have downwardly-projecting lugs F,which fit between the bars A, and the said lugs have wings G on the sides, the said wings resting on the top edges of the bars A.

(No model.)

The outer ends of the endV sections, D, rest upon the end pieces, B,which are shouldered, as shown.

A series of the abovedescribed united bars and their perforated sections are placed together, and the culm to be burned is placed on the perforated sections D.

lThe advantages of the above-described culmbar are that the cooling-bars do not get hot enough to burn out, and in case one of the sections D burns out it can be replaced very easily and an entire new bar is not required.

Thelugs on the sections and the crosslpieces uniting the bars A hold the sections D securely in place.

Having thus described my invention, I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent- 1. A culm-bar consisting of two parallel bars united by cross-pieces and perforated sections placed longitudinally of the parallel bars and provided on their under sides with transverse lugs,the lugs of each section fitting between two cross-pieces of parallel bars, substantially as set forth. p

2. The combinatiomwith the bars A,united by cross-pieces C,l of the perforated sections D, having lugs F,provided with wings G,sub stantially as herein shown and described.
